Maybe it's a case of Piñata? Let's not even get started on religious puns :) Ed

Hmmm ... how could I relate that to property?! Ah, yes! Community housing :) Ed

Thanks, joannep, sounds great! Unf, I'm busy this time. Would you believe I'm hosting a singles evening discussion on ... polygamy! Yeah, I know, a bit out there :) See y'all next time! Ed

Recently moved to Perth & would love to join you all. How many usually attend? Thanks, Ed

I have to agree, I went in & dashed around in no time at all because most booths were people trying to sell services that seem to be pitched at people without any knowledge on the topic. As someone already said, most people here already know far too much to benefit from most booths. This...

They were offering 2 for $60, so I've got a spare for $30 if anyone's interested. First in best dressed! Bill's always good value, and John from Residex should be interesting, sharing some predictions for the market. Ed p.s. they were giving them away for free at the Expo, wish I'd...

I'd love to come along, preferably outside working hours. Some of us still have that filthy habit :) Somewhere central in the city would be good. Sorry, I don't know any of the bars that have been mentioned so far! Ed

Delighted to hear it! Sometimes all it takes is a fresh perspective or a new idea. Well, it can be an old idea, as long as it's new to US. I guess that's why we're all such dedicated learners ... Ed p.s. have you read 'the language of love'? It's a great book, very simple but profoundly...

Peter, you might wish to try: http://www.valentiinternational.com/ I sure would if I had the funds! I also do a little relationship coaching on the side, so if anyone would like a few ideas & processes which will help you in all forms of relationship, just let me know. I...

Yep, loved this book, heaps of unusual ideas which aren't straight B&H. I emailed him about his new book & he says it should be out 'soon'. Ed

I love 'the Science of Getting Rich' which is available free online if you google for it. Great stuff about the internals of abundance, without which no amount of property investing is gonna help ... IMHO :) Ed

So what do people think of Christopher Laird's article? It makes sense to me as an interested layman. America's shockingly bad financial position has been known for decades, but if it's becoming consensus amongst the powers that be, maybe the end game is coming soon? America has been able to...

I've just been looking at graphs for the last 25 years, and it seems that for many/most Ozzie cities, before this current boom prices had been almost flat for between 8-10 years. So ... why do we expect anything different for the future? Why aren't we gonna have another 8-10 year period for...

Here's a graph of Perth prices I was emailed after asking a similar question about the end of the last boom. Apparently it ended late 70s roughly, when gold hit about us$1000/oz before crashing back down to earth. Looks like a pretty soft landing to me. Ed p.s. curious that ounce ==...

$150k?! For newbies? How on earth can one earn that kind of money, if you'll pardon the pun? Please do explain! I'd fly over tomorrow if I could get me a piece of that :) It sure would earn me a few deposits! Ed
